This was a very limited census, only a few folks indexed.

I can’t find him in New York and I can’t find these kids in Michigan. So, I searched for any Orlando born in Michigan in 1848. Bingo. They are here in Floyd County in 1860 but their name is Buck. Elizabeth was married to Enoch Buck from Ohio, and all the kids were born in Michigan. In 1860 Orlando was 13 MI, June was 11 and Emma 8. So this is his first marriage and her second.
